Cyborg Cop (1993)

Looking at the title I thought that it would be okay. Sadly it failed a bit and the only reason is that it looks cheaply done and the effects used, if we can say effects, are laughable. The cyborg itself just looked ridiculous. Easy to spot that it just was a rubber suit. And just look at his feet, also a rubber shoe. It was also Rufus Swart last role in the business here as a cyborg just coming from the gem Dust Devil (1992).Coming from Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) John Rhys-Davies was casted in low budgets just before his second breakthrough in The Lord Of The Rings (2001). I have to say that the acting of all was mediocre but was surprised that it contained a few nudity shots, one gratuitous by slaves working in a fabric topless. Unbelievable. The other nudity came from Alonna Shaw here as Cathy. She never made it into the business, this also being her last flick before she appeared in two episodes in two series. The only effect worth noticing is the replacement of a real arm into a cyborg arm. And here and there there are a few nasty shots like a slashing and the cyborg smashing his fist through a head.Jack Ryan, the main lead was played by David Bradley who became notorious after his role in American Ninja. He came back for the main lead in Cyborg Cop 2 (1994) but also failed after wards and stopped in 1997. Sam Firstenberg, the director also came from the American Ninja flicks and tried to pick in on the Cyborg success and the Terminator flicks.It do has a kind of Robocop (1987) feeling but as I told before. It has a cheap look. Worth watching for a few shots and scenes but only for the B-flick fans.Gore 1/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

I bought this on DVD for £1 after me and a friend of mine were having a season of watching really lame films, and I have to say, this is very possibly the most unintentionally funny film I have ever seen in my whole life. I don't know what the hell Sam Firstenberg was smoking when he made it, but whatever it was seems to have totally affected his ability to shout "Cut!" as there are so many scenes that left me wondering why the hell they didn't just go back and refilm them. And the editing is atrociously bad. Look carefully during the scene where David Bradley's character is assaulting the house on his motorbike. He jumps off the bike, and shoots twice at a couple of guys, one on the roof, and one on a balcony. Count them, he fires two shots. So then why, inexplicably, does a third man roll down the stairs immediately after, clearly having been shot? It was this kind of total sloppiness that made the film so enjoyable, yet baffling, as they obviously had a decent enough size budget to hire helicopters and blow the hell out of everything, yet not enough to edit the damn thing right...Other unintentionally comic moments are: "Quincy" the Cyborg (Yes, Quincy...) trying to smash through the door in the morgue but nearly knocking himself out as only the top half of the door crumples (my favourite bit. Watch it in slo-mo...).Quincy getting electrocuted and walking into a wall.Quincy's hand-knife-glove-fingers.Quincy, the most advanced robot cyborg in the world deciding the best way to kill the president during the demonstration is to dive through the windscreen headfirst and catch fire.David Bradley doing a spinning kick and kicking no-one in the face in the fight outside the bar.David Bradley disarming a guard, then spinning round on the spot for no reason before shooting him.David Bradley's lame attempts to distract the police officers in the car before he snatches the gun.David Bradley's Bumbag.David Bradley.Todd Jensen's "Philip" cyborg, and his wholly inappropriate cyborg voice. Coupled with a hilarious penchant for repeating words for no reason, such as, John Rhys-Davies: "this is the bank"...Philip: "BANK"...Put simply, if you haven't seen this movie, hunt it down. It is utterly hilarious, for all the wrong reasons. 10 out of 10.

David Bradley stars as Jack Ryan (Once again I assume no relation to Harrison Ford or Alec Baldwin in Hunt For Red October or Patriot Games)an ex-cop who becomes a one man army when he finds that an evil mad scientist Kessel(John Rhys Davies) has turned his brother into a robot, along the way Ryan is aided by Kathy (Double Impact's Alonna Shaw) who helps him find out what happens in this testosterone driven thriller. David Bradley gets about as good as he ever gets in this science fiction thriller which features enough flair in the action to make this a rather pleasing effort to the action fan. Anyone however looking for something more won't find it here. Of course nobody would go in expecting much from a David Bradley movie anyway.2.5/5 Matt Bronson

You know you're in for a real cinematic treat when you pick up a film from a bargain bin at less than five dollars and it looks as though it was pirated in Malaysia. This is definitely worth your while if you feel like laughing at everyone who was involved with this film. From the absolutely shoddy writing and casting to the hilariously bad all over FX: in most fight scenes the weapon fire and the resulting pyrotechnics are dubiously mis-matched, the timing is amusingly off- this film is almost as good as Battlefield Earth, and slightly better than RoboCop, its source material! Cyborg Cop is very much jammed with action movie cliché after cliché, and i've never seen Sam Firstenberg's name on film credits since. Perhaps this is a good thing.
